Getting back on topic Naz there were major problems last night including...
Why aren't you running the ball north and south. That east/ west stuff is a joke.
Bad penalties
Poor tackling and blocking
And the QB should not ever run backwards. Run forward or throw the ball away.
If you worked on rushing the ball north and south it would have eventually opened up your star players for big plays.
I finally realized how the mismatch occurred. Had nothing to do with E-W running and everything to do with Dave Lenti being able to scheme well against a less mobile QB.
All three MC games I saw had them up against RPO type QBs with strong run capability. Tough ask though, not utilizing a top 25 player in the country. Maybe some wildcat would have helped? I think Naz with a mobile QB keeps that game much closer. No way Willowbrook or Montini beat Naz and they kept MC way closer than Naz.
